[digging]

I've never liked that quote because without context the criticism of inspectors and their tools sounds foolish to me. Inspectors generally serve an extremely useful role, I think the friction is that they're people. I compare them to a linter. We should probably have more inspectors unless AI can do it more easily, because capitalists will cut corners, risking the health and lives of others, at basically any opportunity.

I don't think the quote was a specific dig against Inspection-related professions, but more a criticism of make-work (or so-called bullshit) jobs. Maybe a more modern version of the quote would replace "inspectors" with "administrators".
